At Taunton Orthodontics, we believe the best smiles come from teamwork—and that starts with our doctors. Dr. Emily Singer and Dr. David Shapiro don’t just work side by side—they treat every patient together. With two expert orthodontists reviewing your case, you get double the insight, double the care, and the confidence of knowing your smile is in the best hands.
As one of the only female orthodontists in the area, Dr. Singer brings a unique perspective and warm, family-friendly approach to every interaction. Together, Drs. Singer and Shapiro have been crafting beautiful, healthy smiles for families across Durham since 2012—and our community has noticed. We’re proud to be recognized as Durham Region’s Top Choice Orthodontic Clinic for eight years running, including 2025!
Whether you’re a busy parent, a student, or an athlete on the go, we offer flexible scheduling, no-interest payment plans, and a wide range of modern treatment options to fit your lifestyle. From traditional metal braces and Iconix® champagne brackets to clear braces, Invisalign, and Angel Aligners—we’ve got solutions that work for everyone.
We’re also proud to be a Diamond Invisalign Provider, a designation that highlights our expertise and experience with clear aligner treatment.
